I INSIDE BY JORDYNNE HART [email protected] If knowledge is power, then at Sapa North America’s annual Health and Safety Day Fair held Thursday in Yankton was a power- ful experience for all who at- tended. For the first time this year, the fair tied in with South Dakota’s Manufacturing Week by inviting other area plant managers, health and safety managers and human resource personnel. More then 233 manufacturing employees at- tended the event. “Our main goal is to show Sapa and other manufacturing employ- ees that we really care about their safety and their health,” said Jane Larson, human resources manager at Sapa Yankton plant. Larson said in past years, at least five employees have been di- agnosed at the fair’s screening with either cancer, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. “These people where able to get the help they need in time be- cause of the Health and Safety Fair,” Larson said. Sapa drew more than 45 infor- mational exhibits for the event. Each exhibit targeted different health and safety needs that work- ers in the manufacturing industry should learn. One stand that gave some workers a reality check was spon- sored by the Avera Sacred Heart Cancer Center. At one table, the lungs of two pigs were displayed: One was a healthy lung while the other had been exposed to a pack of ciga- rettes a day for 20 years. “Because of the mere fact that you can’t see your lungs, it is shocking to people when you first see it,” said Darla Gullikson, direc- tor of Avera Sacred Heart Cancer Center in Yankton. She said there are a high SPORTS By The Associate Press RAPID CITY — Former Gov. Mike Rounds said on Thursday that he submitted incorrect in- formation to a committee inves- tigating the handling of a program offering green cards to immigrants who invested in South Dakota. Rounds, who has been criti- cized during his campaign for a U.S. Senate seat over lapses in the visa program, said in writ- ten statements to the Govern- ment Operations and Audit Committee last week that “the governor’s office was not served” with lawsuit papers re- garding the state’s handling of the EB-5 program. The state is defending a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by a California company, Darley International, which had an agreement to re- cruit investors in China for South Dakota projects. Rounds, a Republican, was governor at the time of some of the pro- gram’s mismanagment. But Rounds on Thursday sent a letter to the head of the committee ask- ing for permis- sion to change his original re- sponse hours after the Rapid City Journal posted on its website a summons showing that Rounds’ office was served with papers pertaining to the lawsuit in July 2009. “It has come to our attention that the governor’s office was in- deed secondarily notified of the Board of Regent’s petition order,” Rounds wrote to state Sen. Larry Tidemann. “An assis- tant in the governor’s office had received the notification. As a clerical function, we assume the document was simply forwarded to the Board of Regents, the at- torney general’s office or the general counsel. I had not seen that particular document until yesterday, October 1, 2014.” BY NOMAAN MERCHANT AND DAVID WARREN Associated Press DALLAS — Four members of a family the U.S. Ebola patient was staying with were confined to their Texas home under armed guard Thursday as the circle of people possibly ex- posed to the virus widened, while Liberian authorities said they would prosecute the man for allegedly lying on an airport questionnaire. The unusual confinement order was imposed after the family failed to comply with a request not to leave their apart- ment, according to Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. Texas State Health Commis- sioner David Lakey said the order would help ensure the four can be closely watched, in- cluding checking them for Rounds: I Sent Wrong Info To EB-5 Inquiry Playing It Safe At Sapa BY SHAUNA MARLETTE [email protected] A pilot program at Stewart Elementary School in Yank- ton is seeing a high level of success that teachers and ad- ministrators alike say is impressive. The Stimulating Maturity through Accelerated Readi- ness Training — or SMART — is a multi-sensory approach to getting kids to learn, said Yankton School District (YSD) physical therapist Pam Fedders. The program, which was started last school year in the early childhood intervention classrooms at Stewart, made such an impact that it was expanded to the kindergarten and first grade general education rooms this year. “We started it right away at the beginning of the school year last year,” said Cody Lukkes, early childhood inter- vention teacher. “The important thing is we saw positive changes right away.” Fedders said the program, which incorporates physical motion with academic learning, saw students who are a lit- tle on the hyperactive side become more focused, and kids who come in more tired and fatigued actually become more alert through the motion activity. “It helps get them ready to learn,” she said. “So many of our kids have sensory difficulties and have difficulties fo- cusing that we were like, ‘This is what we need to do.’ As a physical therapist, I have always kind of combined moving with learning, but to get it in the classroom in a structured setting is a big thing.” Former Gov.
